London theatre reviews

Michael Pennington tackles the role of Prospero for the first time in formidable style in Tom Littler's evocative and inventively novel production of Shakespeare's final play.

An impressively measured and well-judged performance sensitively recounts the complex issues surrounding a rape and its devastating repercussions. Highly recommended.

No obvious, succinct link arises for this triptych of plays which mixes the frustratingly abstruse, the interestingly relevant and a stand-out, poignant solo performance.

Gerald Moon's inventive and twist-filled comedy thriller gets an economical, if rather cramped revival that still surprises, but the comedy is underwhelming, dated and laboured.

An unusual and genuinely moving song cycle evoking the loss of connection with the landscape and the earth, in a provocative and thoughtful blend of music, vocals, poetry and painting.
